Good to Know
A few things that’ll make your visit smoother.
We open at 8:30 AM. No closing time is guaranteed — once the berries are picked, the field closes for the day. Early arrivals get the best pickings.
All picking must be done in our Buskets, purchased on-site. This ensures fair pricing and berry quality for everyone.
You’ll be walking through rows of plants. Closed-toe shoes are strongly recommended. Leave the flip-flops in the car.
We love animals, but please leave your pets at home. Pets are not permitted in the picking fields out of respect for other guests and the crop.
The field is fully outdoors with little shade. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and water — especially on hot days.
Children 2 and under are free with a paying adult. The Large Family Rate ($20) covers 2 adults and 4 or more kids. Come as a family, leave with berries and memories.
